Eastern Railroad Discussion > Chasing CSX #5253 across the Old Fort LoopsDate: 05/03/07 17:45 Chasing CSX #5253 across the Old Fort Loops Author: bnsf Usually I wouldn't have paid any major attention to CSX #5253 going through Marion, NC. However seeing it leading on the NS and not the Clinchfield made this worth a chase. Some shots below with train #135 lead by not one, but 2 CSX units.
Shot #1 CSX #5253 leads NS Train #135 just west of Old Fort, NC Shot #2 #135 powering up after breifly stoping at Dendron Shot #3 #135 emerges from Jarrat's Tunnel near Coleman Thanks for Looking Grady McKinley Date: 05/03/07 18:18 Re: Chasing CSX #5253 across the Old Fort Loops Author: B36-7 Grady, I really like that 1st shot w/the Southern whistle post! That NS SD60 was really putting out some smoke! Thanks for the photos tonight.
